Marking scholarship exams one weekend. Found a paper with perfect answers, beautifully explained, well-reasoned and laid out. Turned to the front to see the name… no name. Ran over to Admissions office in a panic “we have to find this girl, she’s a genius” (handwriting was too neat, letters & numbers consistently too well-formed to be a guy, I reasoned).
Went through all the sign in lists, the English papers to match them up… couldn’t find a name. Admissions secretary came in on Monday, took one look at the paper and said “that’s your writing, Cal”.
Yeah… I could have gotten a full scholarship to my own school!
